Upcoming webinar: Batteryless Cellular IoT with Conexio

We’re excited to be hosting a new webinar coming up on June 18th at Noon ET / 9 am PT with Rajeev Piyare of Conexio Technologies. They are a new Golioth Design Partner and the creators of the Stratus Pro development board, based on the Nordic Semiconductor nRF9151.

Problem space

The problem is the same as it ever was: batteries run out.

And even though cellular components are lower power draw than ever…well they’re not zero! So it’s all about optimization:

  • Reducing the amount we draw when we are not transmitting
  • Choosing low overhead, highly efficient ways of transmitting
  • Selecting the right combination of hardware elements to enable non-battery operation

It will probably come as no surprise that Conexio boards and the Golioth cloud figure strongly in the above solution. There is also a strong supporting cast of other vendors in the mix, including Nordic Semiconductor, 1nce SIMs, a RAK wireless case, and Datacake visualization.

What you’ll learn

Rajeev has taken the Golioth Reference Design Template, which is a Zephyr project that we use as a starter project on our open source Reference Designs, and made it work even more efficiently on Conexio hardware. That combination of hardware, firmware, and cloud makes for a very low quiescent current draw and efficient connectivity to reduce the overall usage. We’ll cover the following in the webinar:

  • Different cellular low power modes and how to use them to make extra sleepy devices
  • Utilizing Connection ID with the Golioth Firmware SDK
  • Configuring solar and supercapacitors with the onboard power handling
  • Adding device location with minimal power draw

How to sign up

This webinar is happening June 18th at Noon ET / 9 am PT, but will be available on-demand in case you cannot make the event. We will have a Q&A session at the end of the demo. Sign up below and you will receive a welcome email, as well as a calendar invite for the event.

Hope to see you there!
